Ingredients

• For the dip:
• 4 garlic cloves, crushed
• 2 egg yolks
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 1/4 cups olive oil
• 2 tsp whole-grain mustard
• salt and pepper
• For the skewers:
• 2 1/4 lb small new potatoes
• 7 oz shallots, halved
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp sea salt

Directions

1. Prepare the barbecue for cooking the skewers before you begin. To make the dip, place the garlic, egg yolks and lemon juice in a blender or a food processor fitted with the metal blade and process for a few seconds until the mixture is smooth.

2. Keep the blender motor running and add the oil very gradually, pouring it in a thin stream, until the mixture forms a thick, glossy cream. Add the mustard and stir the ingredients together, then season with salt and pepper. Chill until ready to use.

3. Par-boil the potatoes in their skins in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain well and then thread them on to metal skewers alternating with the shallots.

4. Brush the skewers with oil and sprinkle with salt. Grill for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally. Serve with the dip.
